Hey everyone! I’m trying to help my dear friend Zeus raise enough money to get him out here in March! It’ll be for our Spring Break, which happens to land on the same week! We have been friends for over four years, and we’ve only met in person once and for a very short time about two years back. We’re both doing whatever we can to make some extra cash while in school, but our terms have both been crazy. Not to mention Zeus has just gotten himself out of a toxic household to attend school, so he has been supporting himself entirely.

It would mean the world to us both if people donated and shared this post around. If you can’t afford to donate, then please reblog❤
